I've been fighting to let you go.

Finally a member of LomotionSG. I swear I can't wait to snap some awesome pictures of friends and rugby. My Holga120GCFN camera is coming in about a week's time!! I CAN'T WAIT!! (somehow, I can hear lisa saying it's a waste of money)

Speaking of waste of money, I think I just did. But then again, it's not my first time anyway. I know I know, that money is hard to earn (i've experienced it before:), and that we should really be frugal and thrifty. But after much moments with self, which somewhat made me create a bunch of nonsensical logic by yours truly, I realised that by being thrifty, it really limits the amount of happiness that one can find. Okay la, it doesn't really mean that you're materialistic. It's like the thrill comes not because I'm spending money on a box of plastic, but more of the process of snapping photos, and waiting to see the results of those snaps and clicks.

SO, I said I wasted money because after further detailed research, I realised that the built-in flash light spoils easily.. Which means that if the flash dies on me, I either have to stop snapping photos in the dark and forsake the night scenery or get a new camera Holga120GN, which I think will most probably be coming soon. The difference between the one I ordered - Holga120GCFN is that 120GCFN means that there's flash, no port of external flash, made of glass lens and has all the basic functions of a Holga. 120GN means there's no flash, but there is a port for external flash! Which indirectly means that if I purchase 120GN when 120GCFN fails, I have to get the Multi Colour flash. In total, if 120GCFN's flash fails me, I'll have to spend another 90 bucks- for the flash and the camera. (I totally can hear lisa saying "WALAOEH WASTE MONEY LOR!!)

Perhaps I should start saving more money now.

And all these expenditures does not include FILMS, a very important part of this adventure with this film camera. Considering the fact that I'll have to purchase both 120mm and 35mm films and they branch out to 2 different categories - slide and negative, I think I'll be getting all - so as to find the one I can work best with.

AND THERE ARE LIKE OTHER TYPE OF CUTE CAMERAS LIKE THAT SERIES OF CAMERAS THAT ARE ABLE TO TAKE 4/3/2IDENTICAL/DIFFERENT PICTURES ONTO A SINGLE FRAME! AND ANOTHER FISH EYE CAMERA WHICH TAKES CUTE PICTURES AS WELL AND THIS OTHER POP CAMERA THAT TAKES PICTURE LIKE WARHOL'S ARTWORK. (AND I'M A FAN OF WARHOL.......)

:( IM IN NEED OF BUCKEROOS MAN.
